Biting fleas are more than just a nuisance for your dog. Left unchecked, they can cause serious disorders such as flea allergy dermatitis, secondary skin infections, tapeworms, and even anemia. This topical flea treatment lets you stop fleas before they become a problem. Used just once a month, it begins working in minutes, killing 98 to 100 percent of the fleas on dogs within 12 hours and 99 percent of flea larvae and eggs within 20 minutes. The dead fleas can't lay eggs, and the dead larvae and eggs can't hatch, breaking the flea's life cycle and halting the infestation in its tracks. Any new fleas your dog then encounters are killed within two hours, preventing re-infestation for as long as four weeks. In fact, Advantage II is so effective at breaking the flea's life cycle there's no need to treat your dog's environment. Applied before the start of flea season, it helps keep your dog from becoming infested in the first place. Used year-round, it prevents fleas from over-wintering in your home to feast on your dog next season. Gentle enough for puppies as young as seven weeks, Advantage II is water-resistant and continues to work while your dog swims or is bathed. The package includes six pre-measured doses for dogs 55+ pounds in easy-to-use applicator tubes. For safety, keep out of the reach of children, and read all warnings and instructions carefully.

On Being A Footstool

Day 39 - February 8, 2010

A footstool can be used for various purposes. By definition a footstool is basically used for support in order to reach a high object - something you step on. It can also be used as a chair - something you sit on. In some cases its used for decorative purposes - something you place something on; all of which have one thing in common...TRUST.

When we stand or sit on a footstool or place something precious on top of it, we put our complete trust in it, knowing that it is strong and stable enough to carry our weight or that of what we hold dear.

In life we can sometimes play the part of the humble footstool. Sometimes we feel like we are often stepped on, used, abused, and taken advantage of by people around us.

Perhaps it's not because we are worthless, but instead, very reliable, capable, and trustworthy. Albeit taken for granted, we are the footstool that supports others to reach the heights that they are aiming for. In doing so, we also serve our purpose.

I wrote a software, that allows me to paint with light on webcam. This software gives me some advantages compared to the "normal" light painting technique, namely positioning and undo features. But the outcome is though completely drawn with light, coming into webcam and there are no software manipulations to nor the shape, nor the color of what I am painting. I simply see the result immediately and can go some steps back if I don't like it. So it's You to judge if it can be still called "light painting" or not, but from my point of view technically it is :)
